Komodo 3 v Strelka 5 -- 100 games 3 minutes

[Matthias Gemuh]

Hi Ingo,

you don't need to fear that engines will evolve into nonsense.
Strong and medium engines hardly ever break even the WB protocol.

ShredderGUI respects the UCI protocol strictly, so users of that GUI can best catch protocol bugs in UCI engines.

If we had one commonly used GUI that respects the WB protocol strictly, that would solve the problem. HGM, stop being liberal !

Best,
Matthias.

ponder = ON.
       Time control is game in 3 minutes. I am using the excellent "ChessGUI" to run the match, set to give each engine a 1/10th second "overstep" margin to help avoid any time losses.

Hi Pal,

Amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ponder = ON and no crashes with Strelka 5!
(with Fritz and Shredder GUI, it's unplayable, ask me and Ingo Bauer, with Arena I don't know..., and Strelka 5.1 is not much better)

There has to be an explanation!

Just pass this tester results and you'll be fine....

Every and each tournament he runs is full of errors and unreasonable outcomes and this here makes no exception....

I was mainly confused because your proposal is not solving the problem of Strelka!

Hi Ingo,

But then, how do you explain that Pal apparently had no problem with his ChessGUI Ponder ON Strelka 5 match?

Hello Ernest,

I think I am the wrong one to ask. You know that Strelka 5 can't ponder properly, I know it, even Yuri O. know it and released 5.1 therefore (which is better but not good).

Basicaly I think you give to much attention to that engine ...


Bye
Ingo
